497 Thy Will Be Done. Chant

"Thy will be " done!" "" In devious way
The hurrying stream of " life may " run; ""
Yet still our grateful hearts shall say, "
"Thy will be " done."

2 "Thy will be " done!" "" If o'er us shine
A gladdening and a " prosperous " sun, ""
This prayer will make it more divine -- "
"Thy will be " done!"

3 "Thy will be " done!" "" Tho' shrouded o'er
Our " path with " gloom, " one comfort, one ""
Is ours: -- to breathe, while we adore, "
"Thy will be " done."

Sir. J. Bowring, 1825.
